Early on, Bournemouth&#8217;s Antoine Semenyo tested Mozambique&#8217;s goalkeeper Ivane Urrubal with a powerful shot in the opening minute. The attacking momentum materialized into a penalty when Joseph Paintsil was fouled, and captain J. Ayew calmly converted, securing an early lead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kahawatungu.com\/dakas-last-minute-heroics-secure-zambia-a-draw-against-tanzania-in-afcon-thriller\/\">Daka&#8217;s Last-Minute Heroics Secure Zambia a Draw Against Tanzania in AFCON Thriller<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second half saw Andr\u00e9 Ayew surpassing Rigobert Song as the all-time AFCON appearance leader, signaling Ghana&#8217;s determination. Despite Mozambique&#8217;s attempts to rally, J. Ayew extended Ghana&#8217;s lead with another penalty after Reinildo handled Mohammed Kudus&#8217; shot. However, Mozambique responded with a penalty of their own, converting what they initially thought was a consolation goal.<\/p>\n<p>In a surprising turn of events, Ghana&#8217;s fate was sealed when Reinildo scored a header in stoppage time, equalizing the match. With Egypt securing a dramatic point in the group&#8217;s other fixture, Ghana faces the likelihood of exiting the tournament in the group stage for the second consecutive time, with only two points to their name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana&#8217;s hopes in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) took a devastating turn as they surrendered a two-goal lead in stoppage time against Mozambique&#8217;s National Team, resulting in a thrilling draw.
